ADNAN OKTAR: The Hell; believers will come near the Hell and it's exceedingly comfortable. I mean for a Muslim, there is no disturbing incident right from the moment of death. There is constant pleasure and joy. For once, his life is taken with a very polite and affectionate manner. It's taken with compliments, respect and love. They come as a committee, take it with love, so there is no such thing. Even when they are taken next to Hell, as everyone will go to the field of Hell, they have their drivers with them, because they don't know the field, the environment. Allah says, "Their light will stream out ahead of them and on their right." But not in the sense we think; we think of something like a lamp, but it's not. When we say "driver" we think something like a car, but it's not that either. When we see there, we'll see it for the first time and we'll understand. They are not known to us. When we say field, we assume it's like soil or a flat land. It's not like that; it's something completely different so we'll understand what it is there. Therefore, now we just have faith as to what it is. We'll be convinced when we see it, because people don't realize where they are when they wake up in the Hereafter. They wake up and ask where they are. They ask what that place is. They say, "'Alas for us! Who has raised us from our resting-place?" and they are surprised. They think that they have been woken up from a sleep, they can't understand. Then a caller calls them from a specific point far away. Allah says that they will all run to that point as a whole, just as people are very inclined to running in order to get ahead of the others with the idea of getting any benefits that may exist in that location. They understand what it is when they get to there. They say; "Alas! This is the Day of Religion, we have died and been resurrected." I mean they understand it only there. Still, most of them can't understand there either; they still think that they have woken up, were unconscious or in a coma and then left like that to a field. They think that they were left there but they still don't realize. They say, "Alas for us! This is the Day of Religion." They say "this is what was promised to us". Then everything begins. Allah separates the believers; so they are separated from the unbelievers. When we say "doors of Hell", of course people think about steel doors but it's not like that. People will see it there. For example, when we say "doors of the Heaven" again we think about a beautifully decorated door like a garden entrance but it's not like that. We'll see everything there. Because Allah says, "They will be raised up as a new creation." All laws of physics change, all laws of chemistry change, everything is different. This is a dimension, a way of life that we'll see for the first time. Therefore, no matter how much we think, we can't know. Allah says in the verse, "No eye has seen it and no self have felt it." Look. "No eye has seen it and no self have felt it." Then how are we supposed to know? This is not something that we can know. But we'll adapt very easily when we see it. Because there will be hosts with us, we'll have hosts, if we are to go as believers insha'Allah. Being a Muslim is very easy. Therefore, a Muslim has no fear of Hell in that sense. We fear Allah, we fear Hell but we hope for the Heaven. We'll seek refuge in Allah. That fear of Hell opens us up and increases love of Allah, insha'Allah.
